What Does It Mean to Be Aromantic?

Being aromantic means you rarely—or never—experience romantic attraction. That doesn’t mean you don’t love people or form deep bonds. It just means romance isn’t really part of how you connect. For some, that’s lifelong. For others, it shifts over time. And no, it doesn’t mean you’re broken or “missing out” it just means your heart works a little differently.

🧭 How Do I Know If I’m Aromantic?

Ask yourself: Do you feel confused when people talk about “crushes”? Do you enjoy close friendships but feel weird about romantic expectations? Many aromantic people report feeling out of place in a world that prioritizes romance but finding the aromantic label can feel like finally exhaling.

💚 Can Aromantic People Still Have Meaningful Relationships?

Absolutely. Being aromantic doesn’t mean you don’t want connection. You might prioritize friendships, family bonds, or even queerplatonic relationships. You get to decide what love looks like in your life.
